Crews of Rage (Content Update)
Crews of Rage is the name of the February 2020 Monthly Content Update, released on February 19th, 2020. It was preceded by the January Legends of the Sea (Content Update) and followed by the March 2020 Heart of Fire (Content Update).
New features
Crew of Rage campaign
The recent return of a certain hot-headed Skeleton Lord is having fiery repercussions around the Sea of Thieves! Skeletons are flocking to Molten Sands Fortress while a new kind of Cursed Chest, the Chest of Rage, is heating things up when it blows its lid.
Chest of Rage
Rumours tell of a mysterious new Cursed Chest being protected by the skeletons of The Devil’s Roar. The Chest of Rage burns hotter and hotter over time, and players must manage the heat using water to prevent it from setting itself off! If the chest overheats, it releases a shockwave that sets fire to any nearby ships, players or skeletons. Attacking a Chest of Rage can also cause it to overheat, which can be used to your advantage...
The Gold Hoarders are eager to retrieve the Chests of Rage and will reward players with Reputation and Gold for their efforts. However, crews looking for a larger payout at the expense of rep can deliver these chests to the Masked Stranger at The Reaper's Hideout for double Gold!
Firebomb Crates
A new type of Resource Crate can be found as a part of the new Mercenary Voyages - Firebomb Crate. Use this Crate to store up to 20 Firebombs or sell a full Crate to the Merchant Alliance for Gold and Reputation

Crews willing to brave the flames and conquer the Fortress will be rewarded with Ashen Treasure along with a guaranteed Ashen Chest and the rumoured Chest of Rage, in addition to Skeleton's Orders leading to various Treasure items.
New Ashen Treasures
Duke and the Outpost stores both have new stocks of Ashen cosmetics, rewarding players for collecting the final volume of Ashen Tomes hidden inside recovered Ashen Chests. In the Crews of Rage update, players can recover new Tomes of Resurrection, giving them access to the final set of Commendations and Cosmetics including items from the Weapon and Ship sets.
